Have You Ever Seen Anyone Capitalize Every Word He Types? Is There Really Any Reason For It?

If that's a Pink Floyd reference, good one!

That was capitalized because it's a title. Well, about the middle third anyway.
"Money For Nothing" = Dire Straits < That was capitalized because it's a proper noun, the name of a band. No, I didn't spell "Pink Floyd" wrong.< Did I dare use an exclamation point?
The song is from "Brothers in Arms", (1987). Oh, I almost forgot, "there", is an adverb. "Their", would be the possessive pronoun.
For the sake of clarification, "They Get (their goes there)> There Money For Nothing And (and there)> There Lunch For Free!!!!!!@!!"

There is this lady and she rings up the computer technician to come fix her computer.The guy arrives and says what is wrong with it,she saids '' The computer wont turn on''. The computer technician is working on the computer checking If anything is broke and he says ''can u please turn the light on''.

I used to do local tech support and database admin for a metal stamping company as an intern. One day, a guy calls me up, says "My mouse don't work". I walk over to the next building, where he was, checked the connections, and plugged in the (PS/2) mouse back in. Told the guy to restart his computer. It was magic apparently, from his reaction.

No kidding, two days later, same dude calls me back. "My mouse stopped working again."
"Did you check the connection?"
"Yeah..."
So I went back over to the guy's desk, checked the connection, plugged it back in, and told him to restart. 'Twas magic, methinks.

The dude was the sales manager, and apparently was a furniture salesman at his last job.

(I make mistakes on a regular basis--I'm not really afraid of them, but at least I try to not repeat the same mistake within the span of two days...)

Nothing in comparison to my old boss. One day he called down reporting a problem with his computer, I'd never actually seen it before as I'd never been in his office for long enough. Anyway up I go to take a look and am confronted by an aging keyboard mouse and monitor. So what seems to be the problem I ask? He replies that the window is stuck in the corner or the screen so I proceed to demonstrate as to how to resize it and minimise maximise (amazing revelation etc). It is at that point I make the discovery that it's Windows 95. Then he mentions that it makes a strange buzzing noise on occasions so I have a look around for the tower and can't find it... Oh I think there is a "box of tricks" around the back there he says. So looking around the back of the desk I stumble across an aging yellowing tower coated in dust with an old 28k RS232 modem sitting on top. My boss had no idea that this was actually "the computer". After opening her up and hoovering out a ton of soil the Pentium 75 inside covered by a buzzing clogged up fan was now actually visible.

Someone emailed me this some time ago, apparently it is a real call log. I had to trawl through my emails to find it.

"Ridge Hall computer assistance; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect".
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away".
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank, it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have
a little light that tells you when it's on?"

"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the
wall."

"Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other
cable."

"Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of
your computer."

"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle-it's because it's
dark."

"Dark?"
"Yes, the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from
the window."

"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power failure."
"A power... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you
still
have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"

"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"

^.^ That was the funniest thing I have read in a long time. Thank you.

Oh, a bunch of kids at school made a .vbs file that shuts down your computer after having two message boxes pop up, and you having to answer them. No one could figure out how to stop it. I walk up and open task manager and end task....

Then they decided to put it in the teachers start up folder...... lets just say they still can't get that sorted out. ;X I plan on telling her how to fix it when I get back from Spring Break........

Hmm.... my teacher is bringing her computer to school soon so I can fix it. I gave her a project on CD, right? Well, as she stated, her computer is possessed and she is afraid it will eat the cd... lol.

Being exposed to a number of vicious tape eating VCRs during your lifetime can bring out such irrational fears as this.

As for the VCR teacher, it is a misnomer. She simply does not teach us doodley-squat. She gives us tutorials (she "teaches" CAD, using Solidworks and Chief Architect, I use SW) and simple projects. We have to learn ourselves, and I happen to be the best in my class. I have to teach the students, along with showing Mrs. ***** how to rotate the view in SW. I even had to show her how to insert threads....

As for the DVD thing, don't worry, you'll survive. I have had my dad ask me every day how to defragment.....

until I placed a shortcut on the desktop. Place a large piece of white/black paper over the drive with big letters saying >>This is the DVD DRIVE!!!!!<<....
